[h2]Hey everyone!
[/h2]
So, what’s next? Even before we wrapped up the
SOTS redevelopment roadmap, a lot of folks were asking what our plans are for the future of
Risk of Rain 2. That’s a fair question. So now that
Seekers of the Storm has officially relaunched (if you missed it,
you should absolutely go try out bouncy CHEF), we want to give you an even more holistic view of what’s to come.
Let’s start out with the most exciting news. Introducing
Risk of Rain 2: Alloyed Collective! While we’ve been releasing updates for
Seekers of the Storm, we’ve also brought in some additional folks that are familiar with
Risk of Rain to help us build out the next DLC. We’re still a ways out from launch, but we wanted to bring everyone in early. In the coming months, as we reveal new parts of the DLC, we’re excited to hear all your thoughts and feedback on where we’re going.

In case you missed it, here’s the announcement trailer for Alloyed Collective: [previewyoutube][/previewyoutube]
In
Alloyed Collective, we’re traversing deep into the Solus-controlled territory of Petrichor V. That means scores of new Stages, and terrifying Solus constructs. Well, one of them is pretty cute, but we’ll get to all that later.
Here’s a sneak peek at what’s to come:
- Explore 6 All-New Stages — From cliffside scrapyards to machinery-choked fortresses and buried caverns, each biome pushes deeper into Solus territory with dynamic layouts and environmental threats.
- Master 2 Survivors — One returns. One debuts. Both are built to survive the escalating storm.
- Command 7 Drones — New Drone types let you augment your playstyle with some wild abilities. With the help of a new station, you can even modify your Drones to suit your needs.
- Fight 7 Enemies — The Solus have been gathering — and building — as they perfect their plan. Now their creations are hunting you.
- Challenge Massive Bosses — Face a brutal new Teleporter encounter — and a final boss that reshapes the endgame.
- Loot 15 New Items — Expand your arsenal with a new haul of mislaid UES property.
[h2]Our Next Update
[/h2]While much of the team is now working on
Alloyed Collective, that doesn’t mean we’re totally finished with SOTS updates. Overall, we’re really happy with where DLC2’s quality has landed after all these updates/patches, but there are still a few more things the team would like to plug away at. And, like we mentioned on Monday, we’ve also been working on an optimization update for the game’s system memory.
DLC1 & DLC2 were already pretty chunky pieces of content. DLC3 promises to be similarly sized. When we add more content to the game, the last thing we want is for someone’s experience to be degraded because there’s just more ‘game’ to load. That’s why we’re taking on this challenge. We expect the most significant impacts of this to be felt on low-spec PCs and Nintendo Switch, but it’s laying good groundwork for when
Alloyed Collective arrives.
And that’s a wrap. We’ll be back soon with more info on Alloyed Collective. In the meantime, enjoy the new skills that just showed up for Seeker, False Son, and CHEF
Thanks!
